Definitions
- the invention relates to a structure with locally bonded fibers having a permeability to air between 0.5 ml / min * cm 2 and 1.5 ml / min * cm 2 .
- nonwovens are used as medical nonwovens and can be flat, curved, flexible or in particular also cylindrical. Depending on the embodiment, they are suitable for permanent use in the human body as an implant. This applies in particular to nonwovens made of biocompatible polyurethane, which can be used, for example, in a tubular shape as a vascular prosthesis. In this case, the nonwoven material can be used to form a tube wall, by which a channeling of blood for the reconstruction of degenerated blood vessels is possible.
- EP 2 083 750 A1 and the WO 2011 054 932 A1 which describe such nonwovens, is incorporated by reference.
- the material for the production of vascular prostheses must meet many requirements due to its properties, in order to be able to be used permanently for the formation of an artificial blood vessel. In addition to the sufficient mechanical and biological stability, this is above all the biological compatibility of the material, which is a basic prerequisite for the suitability for the production of an implantable medical device.
- a vascular prosthesis should provide reliable and permanent delivery of blood flow without leakage or occlusion of the prosthetic lumen during use.
- vascular prosthesis Apart from ruptures as the cause of leaks, it is essentially the material of the vascular prosthesis itself that can produce a leakage of blood.
- a woven textile as a prosthesis wall material is mentioned, which due to its porous structure does not have a reliable seal against blood loss.
- bleeding complications occur regularly, which is reduced after a long time by the onset of blood clotting and the resulting sealing of the pores.
- auxiliaries in the form of a sealing material are used for such materials in order to reduce the severe bleeding complications.
- Such material is used in the DE 600 03 046 T2 described.
- the structure used in the present invention has such a low porosity that bleeding through the prosthesis does not occur after the bloodstream has been opened.
- the permeability is chosen so that the blood cells entering the structure, and in particular a nonwoven, immediately clog the pores of the material.
- Closures of the prosthetic lumen are generally biological reactions to the foreign material. These occlusions are mainly caused by hyperplasia (excessive cell growth) on the anastomoses or thrombosis in the bloodstream.
- the structure used in this invention has, in particular as a nonwoven material, a similar compliance as a human artery.
- Thrombosis in the lumen of a vascular prosthesis is predominantly due to activation of the platelets on the foreign material.
- the material itself or its surface structure with the associated flow phenomena on the surface of the trigger of such activation is predominantly due to activation of the platelets on the foreign material.
- the medical fleece of the company Nonwotecc which is in the EP 2 083 750 A1 and the WO 2011 054 932 A1 described has structural Features of an extracellular matrix, so that can settle on the inner surface of a prosthesis made of this material endothelial cells and spread.
- the consequence of this cell growth is the formation of a luminal endothelial cell layer which completely obscures the underlying prosthetic material and thus significantly reduces coagulation activation in the blood.
- the base material used to make the web has very good biocompatible properties, which causes only minimal irritation of the platelets.
- the elastic properties of the structure and in particular of the nonwoven material are dimensioned such that the vascular prosthesis produced therefrom has a similar compliance to the natural arterial vessel.
- the object of the invention is to avoid undesired cell attachment to the structure and, when used as a vascular prosthesis, to increase the patency rate of the artificial vessel.
- a defined area of the material is subjected to a defined air pressure and then the air volume flow passing through the material is measured. This results in a special porosity, which can also be specified independently of the measurement method, for example, as an air resistance value.
- the fibers are made of polyurethane.
- the structure may comprise a nonwoven as it is for example in the WO 2008/049386 A1 is described.
- An advantageous embodiment provides that the fibers are glued to a cylinder and the coating is arranged on the cylinder inside. This coating smoothes protruding, possibly broken fibers, which can lead to an activation of the platelets in the passing blood (thrombus formation.) In addition, the penetration of growth factors from the surrounding wound area is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of hyperplasia in the anastomotic area.
- the coating of the inner surface of a vascular prosthesis made of a medical nonwoven surprisingly allows a further increase in the patency rate.
- the coating has gelatin, collagens and / or fibrin.
- gelatin can be absorbed after specific periods to be set in order to enable deposition of endothelial cells on the underlying fiber structure.
- a coating of gelatin, fibrin and / or collagen levels the microscopically rough surface of the nonwoven material, thereby reducing the flow-induced activation of the platelets. After a defined time, which can be set by the production of this coating, the coating is absorbed in the blood stream and gradually exposes the underlying nonwoven structure, on which now the endothelial cells can settle.
- the coating described here also reduces the risk of hyperplasia, since it leads to increased sealing the inside of the vessel comes to the outside, which prevents the influx of growth factors from the wound area surrounding the vessel. These growth factors obviously have a promoting effect on the development of hyperplasia in the lumen of the prosthesis.
- the suppression of hyperplasia can additionally be achieved by the incorporation of medicinal active substances into the coating, which are released in a time-controlled manner by the absorption of the coating. It is therefore proposed that the coating comprises a drug. To prevent inflammation, silver ions can be incorporated into the coating.
- the coating can be slowly absorbed in an implant, in particular an implanted artificial vessel. It is advantageous if it is absorbed after one to 30 days and preferably after 2 to 14 days to a maximum of 10% of the original amount.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Struktur mit stellenweise miteinander verklebten Fasern, die eine Durchlässigkeit für Luft zwischen 0,5 ml/min*cm2 und 1,5 ml/min*cm2 aufweisen.The invention relates to a structure with locally bonded fibers having a permeability to air between 0.5 ml / min * cm 2 and 1.5 ml / min * cm 2 .
Derartige Vliese werden als medizinische Vliese eingesetzt und können plan, gebogen, flexibel oder insbesondere auch zylinderförmig sein. Je nach Ausführungsform sind sie dazu geeignet, als Implantat dauerhaft im menschlichen Körper eingesetzt zu werden. Dies trifft insbesondere auf Vliese aus biokompatiblem Polyurethan zu, die z.B. in röhrenförmiger Gestalt als Gefäßprothese eingesetzt werden können. In diesem Fall kann das Vliesmaterial dazu verwendet werden, eine Rohrwandung zu bilden, durch die eine Kanalisierung von Blut zur Rekonstruktion von degenerierten Blutgefäßen möglich wird. Auf die
Das Material zur Herstellung von Gefäßprothesen muss durch seine Eigenschaften viele Anforderungen erfüllen, um dauerhaft zur Bildung eines künstlichen Blutgefäßes verwendet werden zu können. Neben der ausreichenden mechanischen und biologischen Stabilität ist dies vor allem auch die biologische Verträglichkeit des Materials, welche eine Grundvorrausetzung für die Eignung zur Herstellung eines implantierbaren Medizinproduktes ist.The material for the production of vascular prostheses must meet many requirements due to its properties, in order to be able to be used permanently for the formation of an artificial blood vessel. In addition to the sufficient mechanical and biological stability, this is above all the biological compatibility of the material, which is a basic prerequisite for the suitability for the production of an implantable medical device.
Eine Gefäßprothese sollte eine zuverlässige und dauerhafte Bahnung des Blutstroms gewährleisten, ohne dass es im Laufe der Anwendung zu Undichtigkeiten oder Verschlüssen des Prothesenlumens kommt.A vascular prosthesis should provide reliable and permanent delivery of blood flow without leakage or occlusion of the prosthetic lumen during use.
Sieht man von Rupturen als Ursache von Undichtigkeiten ab, ist es im Wesentlichen das Material der Gefäßprothese selber, welches eine Leckage von Blut erzeugen kann. Beispielhaft sei hier die Verwendung eines gewebten Textils als Prothesenwandmaterial erwähnt, welches aufgrund seiner porösen Struktur keine zuverlässige Abdichtung gegen Blutverlust aufweist. Nach Implantation kommt es regelmäßig zu Blutungskomplikationen, die erst nach einer längeren Zeit durch Einsetzen der Blutgerinnung und der dadurch verursachten Abdichtung der Poren reduziert wird. Um diesen Prozess zu beschleunigen werden für solche Materialien Hilfsmittel in Form eines Dichtungsmaterials eingesetzt, um die starken Blutungskomplikationen zu reduzieren. Ein derartiges Material wird in der
Die in der vorliegenden Erfindung verwendete Struktur besitzt konstruktionsbedingt eine derart geringe Porosität, dass es nach Eröffnung der Blutbahn nicht zu einer Blutung durch die Prothese kommt. Die Durchlässigkeit ist so gewählt, dass die in die Struktur und insbesondere in ein Vlies eindringenden Blutzellen sofort die Poren des Materials verstopfen. Zudem kommt es zu einer Gerinnungsreaktion in dem Material, welche zusätzlich die Gefäßwandung abdichtet.By design, the structure used in the present invention has such a low porosity that bleeding through the prosthesis does not occur after the bloodstream has been opened. The permeability is chosen so that the blood cells entering the structure, and in particular a nonwoven, immediately clog the pores of the material. In addition, there is a coagulation reaction in the material, which additionally seals the vessel wall.
Verschlüsse des Prothesenlumens sind im Allgemeinen biologische Reaktionen auf das Fremdmaterial. Diese Verschlüsse werden im Wesentlichen verursacht durch Hyperplasie (überschießendes Zellwachstum) an den Anastomosen oder einer Thrombose in der Blutbahn.Closures of the prosthetic lumen are generally biological reactions to the foreign material. These occlusions are mainly caused by hyperplasia (excessive cell growth) on the anastomoses or thrombosis in the bloodstream.
In der Wissenschaft wird als Hauptursache für das Auftreten einer Hyperplasie an den Anastomosen ein Compliance-Mismatch genannt. Dieses Merkmal tritt dann in Erscheinung, wenn sich die Dehneigenschaften des Prothesenmaterials signifikant von denen des nativen Gefäßes unterscheiden. Die bei dieser Erfindung verwendete Struktur besitzt insbesondere als Vliesmaterial eine ähnliche Compliance wie eine menschliche Arterie.In science, the main cause of the occurrence of hyperplasia in the anastomoses is called a compliance mismatch. This feature occurs when the stretch characteristics of the prosthetic material differ significantly from those of the native vessel. The structure used in this invention has, in particular as a nonwoven material, a similar compliance as a human artery.
Eine Thrombose im Lumen einer Gefäßprothese entsteht überwiegend aufgrund einer Aktivierung der Thrombozyten an dem Fremdmaterial. Dabei können das Material selber oder seine Oberflächenstruktur mit den damit verbundenen Strömungsphänomenen an der Oberfläche der Auslöser einer solchen Aktivierung sein.Thrombosis in the lumen of a vascular prosthesis is predominantly due to activation of the platelets on the foreign material. In this case, the material itself or its surface structure with the associated flow phenomena on the surface of the trigger of such activation.
Ziel der Bereitstellung eines optimalen Materials für eine Gefäßprothese oder eine flächige Abdichtung eines Blutraumes ist es also, dass das Material den Blutzellen gegenüber nicht als störendes Fremdmaterial erscheint. Dazu werden verschiedene technologische Ansätze verfolgt.The aim of providing an optimal material for a vascular prosthesis or a surface seal of a blood space, it is therefore that the material does not appear to the blood cells as a disturbing foreign material. For this purpose, various technological approaches are pursued.
Das medizinische Vlies der Firma Nonwotecc, das in der
Das zur Herstellung des Vlieses verwendete Grundmaterial besitzt sehr gute biokompatible Eigenschaften, welche nur eine minimale Reizung der Thrombozyten hervorruft.The base material used to make the web has very good biocompatible properties, which causes only minimal irritation of the platelets.
Letztlich sind die elastischen Eigenschaften der Struktur und insbesondere des Vliesmaterials derart dimensioniert, dass die daraus hergestellte Gefäßprothese eine dem natürlichen arteriellen Gefäß ähnliche Compliance aufweist.Ultimately, the elastic properties of the structure and in particular of the nonwoven material are dimensioned such that the vascular prosthesis produced therefrom has a similar compliance to the natural arterial vessel.
Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine unerwünschte Zellanlagerung an der Struktur zu vermeiden und bei der Verwendung als Gefäßprothese die Offenheitsrate des künstlichen Gefäßes zu erhöhen.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to avoid undesired cell attachment to the structure and, when used as a vascular prosthesis, to increase the patency rate of the artificial vessel.
Dies wird durch eine mindestens einseitige Beschichtung erzielt, die die Durchlässigkeit der Struktur auf unter 0,2 ml/min*cm2 reduziert.This is achieved by an at least one sided coating which reduces the permeability of the structure to less than 0.2 ml / min * cm 2 .
Somit wird eine relativ dichte Membran beschichtet, obwohl zur Erhöhung der Dichtheit eine Beschichtung nicht mehr notwendig wäre und eine poröse Oberfläche gut für das Zellwachstum wäre.Thus, a relatively dense membrane is coated, although to increase tightness, a coating would no longer be necessary and a porous surface would be good for cell growth.
Zur Bestimmung der Permeabilität/Porosität des Vlieses wird eine definierte Fläche des Materials mit einem definierten Luftdruck beaufschlagt und anschließend der durch das Material strömende Luftvolumenstrom gemessen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine spezielle Porosität, die auch unabhängig von der Meßmethode beispielsweise als Luftwiderstandswert angegeben werden kann.To determine the permeability / porosity of the nonwoven, a defined area of the material is subjected to a defined air pressure and then the air volume flow passing through the material is measured. This results in a special porosity, which can also be specified independently of the measurement method, for example, as an air resistance value.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Fasern aus Polyurethan bestehen.It is advantageous if the fibers are made of polyurethane.
Insbesondere zur Herstellung künstlicher Gefäße kann die Struktur ein Vlies aufweisen wie es beispielsweise in der
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Fasern zu einem Zylinder verklebt sind und die Beschichtung an der Zylinderinnenseite angeordnet ist. Diese Beschichtung glättet abstehende, ggf. gebrochene Fasern, die zu einer Aktivierung der Thrombozyten im vorbeiströmenden Blut führen können (Thrombenbildung.) Außerdem wird das Eindringen von Wachstumsfaktoren aus dem umliegenden Wundbereich vermindert, um dadurch die Gefahr einer Hyperplasie im Anastomosenbereich zu reduzieren.An advantageous embodiment provides that the fibers are glued to a cylinder and the coating is arranged on the cylinder inside. This coating smoothes protruding, possibly broken fibers, which can lead to an activation of the platelets in the passing blood (thrombus formation.) In addition, the penetration of growth factors from the surrounding wound area is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of hyperplasia in the anastomotic area.
Die Beschichtung der Innenoberfläche einer Gefäßprothese aus einem medizinischen Vlies ermöglicht überaschenderweise eine weitere Erhöhung der Offenheitsrate.The coating of the inner surface of a vascular prosthesis made of a medical nonwoven surprisingly allows a further increase in the patency rate.
Erste Untersuchungen lassen vermuten, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer dauerhaften Offenheit der Prothese dann am größten ist, wenn es zunächst nach dem initialen Blutkontakt mit der Protheseninnenoberfläche zu einer möglichst geringen Fremdkörperreaktion kommt. Nach dieser ersten Kontaktzeit sollte eine dauerhafte autologe Beschichtung der Materialoberfläche von statten gehen, die die Innenoberfläche der Prothese möglichst als körpereigenes Gewebe darstellen lässt. Eine solche autologe Beschichtung besteht im optimalen Fall aus einer geschlossenen Endothelzellschicht.Preliminary investigations suggest that the likelihood of a permanent openness of the prosthesis is greatest when it first comes to the least possible foreign body reaction after the initial blood contact with the prosthetic inner surface. After this first contact time, a permanent autologous coating of the material surface should be provided which, if possible, makes the inner surface of the prosthesis represent the body's own tissue. Such an autologous coating consists in the optimal case of a closed endothelial cell layer.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Beschichtung Gelatine, Kollagene und/oder Fibrin aufweist. Insbesondere Gelatine kann nach gezielt einzustellenden Zeiträumen resorbiert werden, um eine Anlagerung von Endothelzellen auf der darunterliegenden Faserstruktur ermöglichen zu können.It is advantageous if the coating has gelatin, collagens and / or fibrin. In particular, gelatin can be absorbed after specific periods to be set in order to enable deposition of endothelial cells on the underlying fiber structure.
Eine Beschichtung aus Gelatine, Fibrin und/oder Kollagen ebnet die mikroskopisch raue Oberfläche des Vliesmaterials und reduziert damit die strömungsbedingte Aktivierung der Thrombozyten. Nach einer definierten Zeit, die durch die Herstellung dieser Beschichtung eingestellt werden kann, wird die Beschichtung im Blutstrom resorbiert und legt nach und nach die darunterliegende Vliesstruktur frei, auf die sich nun die Endothelzellen ansiedeln können.A coating of gelatin, fibrin and / or collagen levels the microscopically rough surface of the nonwoven material, thereby reducing the flow-induced activation of the platelets. After a defined time, which can be set by the production of this coating, the coating is absorbed in the blood stream and gradually exposes the underlying nonwoven structure, on which now the endothelial cells can settle.
Außerdem wird durch eine hier beschriebene Beschichtung auch das Risiko einer Hyperplasie reduziert, da es zu einer verstärkten Abdichtung der Gefäßinnenseite nach außen kommt, die das Einströmen von Wachstumsfaktoren aus dem das Gefäß umgebenden Wundgebiet verhindert. Diese Wachstumsfaktoren haben offensichtlich einen fördernden Effekt auf die Entstehung einer Hyperplasie im Lumen der Prothese.In addition, the coating described here also reduces the risk of hyperplasia, since it leads to increased sealing the inside of the vessel comes to the outside, which prevents the influx of growth factors from the wound area surrounding the vessel. These growth factors obviously have a promoting effect on the development of hyperplasia in the lumen of the prosthesis.
Die Unterdrückung einer Hyperplasie kann zusätzlich durch das Einbinden von arzneilichen Wirkstoffen in die Beschichtung erreicht werden, die zeitgesteuert durch die Resorption der Beschichtung freigesetzt werden. Es wird daher vorgeschlagen, dass die Beschichtung ein Medikament aufweist. Zur Vorbeugung gegen eine Entzündung können Silberionen in die Beschichtung eingebunden werden.The suppression of hyperplasia can additionally be achieved by the incorporation of medicinal active substances into the coating, which are released in a time-controlled manner by the absorption of the coating. It is therefore proposed that the coating comprises a drug. To prevent inflammation, silver ions can be incorporated into the coating.
Die Beschichtung kann bei einem Implantat wie insbesondere einem implantierten künstlichen Gefäß langsam absorbiert werden. Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn sie nach ein bis 30 Tagen und vorzugsweise nach 2 bis 14 Tagen auf maximal 10 % der ursprünglichen Menge resorbiert wird. Als Meßmethode eignet sich ein in vivo Modell.The coating can be slowly absorbed in an implant, in particular an implanted artificial vessel. It is advantageous if it is absorbed after one to 30 days and preferably after 2 to 14 days to a maximum of 10% of the original amount. The measuring method is an in vivo model.
